That's really a long time ago, things are changed time to time.
Suppose we drop the support for wchar_t for POSIX, then there is still
a cross-platform subset we could use. And that's truly we want.
In real world, there is so much Compromise, I was intent to developing
a cross-platform subset C runtime API to makes some app development
ease.
Such as git. There is a large set of application and libraries that
suffering there is a cross-platfrom subset POSIX C runtime to use, so
for the cross-platform support, they have to sacrifice the code
elegance and using all kinds of tricks to work around
for those APIs.
